came out victorious, with a few slight mi-
juries, and these were mostly noticeable
on his clothes. Each separate i>arty.
took with them a supply of fdcjdifedffi-

the average hunter. The day wab some-

companions, but while we were studying

presume Job, on the date of the fracas,
was inebriated; he is one of the gentlest
of men. Our understanding of it is that
despite the careful training that we pro-
vided for Job in the " skids'" boxing
room, the lengthy Samuel bore down
upon him like a zephyr and wafted him
to the cooler. There was a cyclone for a

The New York Sun-
More people have read the Sun
ing the year just now passing than
before since it was first printed.
other newspaper published on this side
of the earth has been hpught and read
in any year by so many men and women.
We are are credibly informed that peo-
ple buy, read and like the Sun for the
following reasons, among pthers:
It& news columns present an at-
tractive form and with the greatest pos-
sible accuracy whatever has interest for
humankind ; the events, the deeds and
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy,
the notable folly) the solid sense, the im-
proving nonsense—all the news of the
busiest world at present revolving in
space. . T
Because people have observed that in
its remarks concerning persons ahd
affairs the Sun makes a practice of tell-
ing them the exact truth to the best of
its ability three hundred and sixty-five
days in the year, before election as -well
as after, about the whales ^s well ks the
small fish, in the face of dissent as plain*
ly and fearlessly as when supported by
general approval. The §un has abso-
lutely no purposes to serve, save the in-
formation of its readers and the further-
ance of the commo^feood.
Because it is everybody's newspaper.
Nq man is so humble that the Sun'is
indifferent to his welfare and his rights.
No man is so rich that it can allpw in-
justice to be done hjimj No man, no
association of men, is powerful enough
to be exempt from the $trict application
of its principles of right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for a
dozen years, without intermission and
sometimes almost alone'among newspa-
pers, the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent overwhelming popular verdict
against Robesonism and for honest gov-
ernment. No matter what party is in
power, the Sun stands and will continue
to stand like a rock for the; interests of
the people against the ambition of
bosses, the encroachments of mon opo-
lists, and the dishonest schemes of pub-
lic robbers.
AH this is what we are told almost
daily by our friends. One. man holds
that the Sun is the best religious paper
ever published, because its Christianity is
undiluted with cant. Another holds
that it is the best republican newspaper
printed, because it has already whipped
half of the rascals out of that party, and
is proceeding against the other half with
undiminished vigor. A third.believes it
to be the best magazine of general litera-
ture in existence, because its readers
miss nothing worthy of notice that is
current in the world of thought! So
every reader of the Sun discovers one of
its many sides thateppeals with particu-
lar force to his individual liking.
If you already know tl^e Sun, you will
observe that in 1883 it is a little better
than ever before. If you do not already
know the Sun, you will find it to be a
mirror of all human 'activity, a store-
house of the choicest products of common
sense and invagination, a mainstay for
the cause of honest government, a senti-
nel fbr genuine Jeffei*oniah democracy,
wickedness of every
and an uncommonly good in-
coming year.

Geneva has la shooting'gallery. This
lis a benefit to the town. Three shoots
for a nickle. It is a wealth-producing
industry:" You see when you hit the
bull's eye you feel as much richer, your
family are warmer and better fed, and
you then have made the great gain of
having the privilege to shoot again. We
expect if a man goes on hitting Che bull's
eye once in every three shots, he would
soon retire full of glory. If this was
good square gambiing, in which wheuj'
your hit the bull's eye, yoii would get a
money prize, there might be some cnerit
in breaking the bank, but inasmuch as
you only get a chance to. do more shoot-
ing, we see no gain. Shooting one of
those targets pop-guns is no more like
shooting a gun than cracking a whip is,
and inasmuch as this is a Batavia man

the boys will give him the go by, and

was inebriated; he is one of the gentlest

The New York Sun-
More people have read the Sun
ing the year just now passing than
before since it was first printed.
other newspaper published on this side
of the earth has been hpught and read
in any year by so many men and women.
We are are credibly informed that peo-
ple buy, read and like the Sun for the
following reasons, among pthers:
It& news columns present an at-
tractive form and with the greatest pos-
sible accuracy whatever has interest for
humankind ; the events, the deeds and
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy,
the notable folly) the solid sense, the im-
proving nonsense—all the news of the
busiest world at present revolving in
space. . T
Because people have observed that in
its remarks concerning persons ahd
affairs the Sun makes a practice of tell-
ing them the exact truth to the best of
its ability three hundred and sixty-five
days in the year, before election as -well
as after, about the whales ^s well ks the
small fish, in the face of dissent as plain*
ly and fearlessly as when supported by
general approval. The §un has abso-
lutely no purposes to serve, save the in-
formation of its readers and the further-
ance of the commo^feood.
Because it is everybody's newspaper.
Nq man is so humble that the Sun'is
indifferent to his welfare and his rights.
No man is so rich that it can allpw in-
justice to be done hjimj No man, no
association of men, is powerful enough
to be exempt from the $trict application
of its principles of right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for a
dozen years, without intermission and
sometimes almost alone'among newspa-
pers, the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent overwhelming popular verdict
against Robesonism and for honest gov-
ernment. No matter what party is in
power, the Sun stands and will continue
to stand like a rock for the; interests of
the people against the ambition of
bosses, the encroachments of mon opo-
lists, and the dishonest schemes of pub-
lic robbers.
AH this is what we are told almost
daily by our friends. One. man holds
that the Sun is the best religious paper
ever published, because its Christianity is
undiluted with cant. Another holds
that it is the best republican newspaper
printed, because it has already whipped
half of the rascals out of that party, and
is proceeding against the other half with
undiminished vigor. A third.believes it
to be the best magazine of general litera-
ture in existence, because its readers
miss nothing worthy of notice that is
current in the world of thought! So
every reader of the Sun discovers one of
its many sides thateppeals with particu-
lar force to his individual liking.
If you already know tl^e Sun, you will
observe that in 1883 it is a little better
than ever before. If you do not already
know the Sun, you will find it to be a
mirror of all human 'activity, a store-
house of the choicest products of common
sense and invagination, a mainstay for
the cause of honest government, a senti-
nel fbr genuine Jeffei*oniah democracy,
wickedness of every
and an uncommonly good in-
coming year.

The joke was oh the correspondent
this week. The C. N. W. have changed
their time card. .He was avirare of this,
but failed to get it through his thick
head that the train going east at 9:30 had
been taken off. When he found this
out he didn't swear or bay a word, but
acknowledged that he. was beaten, and
walked to Carpentereville.

■I-
Geneva has la shooting'gallery. This
lis a benefit to the town. Three shoots
for a nickle. It is a wealth-producing
industry:" You see when you hit the
bull's eye you feel as much richer, your
family are warmer and better fed, and
you then have made the great gain of
having the privilege to shoot again. We
expect if a man goes on hitting Che bull's
eye once in every three shots, he would
soon retire full of glory. If this was
good square gambiing, in which wheuj'
your hit the bull's eye, yoii would get a
money prize, there might be some cnerit
in breaking the bank, but inasmuch as
you only get a chance to. do more shoot-
ing, we see no gain. Shooting one of
those targets pop-guns is no more like
shooting a gun than cracking a whip is,
and inasmuch as this is a Batavia man
come up to skln'^Dogtown, we imagine
the boys will give him the go by, and
the men will spving to those, in the small circle__
of yo ir own family, and from that as a 1 -
